In addition to bicycle sales, we also service all makes, models and styles of bicycles – from road bikes to mountain bikes to hybrids and comfort bicycles as well as everything in between. We are also experts in the field of bicycle fitting; did you know that having a bicycle that is sized correctly for you and your individual needs will make you a more comfortable, efficient, and happy rider? Come see what we can do to help you today.

Are you a triathlete? Are you thinking about becoming a triathlete and competing in your first triathlon? If so, we’ve got you covered as we’ve been helping triathletes succeed for well over a decade with performance bicycles, expert fitting and a full range of triathlon accessories. Whether it’s a sprint triathlon in your hometown or a full-blown Ironman in Kona, we cater to every level of triathlete helping them consistently achieve their personal best.

Did you know that we are also one of the oldest ski shops in the state of New Jersey? Selling alpine skis, boots, bindings, and poles, cross-country ski packages, snowboards, snowboard boots, snowboard bindings, and all of the accessories like helmets, goggles, and travel bags, we’ve got all of your on-the-slope needs covered. Additionally, we carry a large selection of ski and snowboard apparel to make sure that you stay warm, dry, and comfortable – and look good, too – while skiing and snowboarding.

As an added bonus, if you’re new to the sport of skiing or snowboarding, or, if you have children who are still growing, we offer daily ski and snowboard rental packages as well as season long rental ski and snowboard leases featuring current models and technology. We believe “the fit” is everything and provide expert boot fitting with every lease, rental, and piece of equipment that we sell. Additional boot fitting services are also available as well as in-house ski and snowboard tuning, and we have extensive experience working with ski racers, instructors, and patrol personnel throughout the area. Come see why our experience and expertise has helped us stand out in the alpine market since 1975.

When spring rolls around and the ski season comes to a close, we turn our attention to the local trout streams, with our fly shop providing fly fishing and fly tying instruction, equipment and accessories. From the total novice to the angler who travels the world with their fly rod, reel and equipment in tow, we can help improve and enhance your time on the water making you a better angler. Our classes and instruction are open to individuals and groups of every age and we offer a fly fishing camp for children between the ages of 9 and 15 during the summer. We also run free-of-charge fishing trips on Sunday mornings to local trout streams and on Sunday evenings to the Jersey shore, helping get you out on the water and connected with other like-minded anglers.

Thanks again for visiting – stop in and let us show you how our customer service sets us apart from the other ski shops, fly shops, and bicycle shops in the tri-state area!
